Post Script

What is the difference between trying to do something and training for it? Rule of life might sound legalistic - how can it help us embrace the joy and easy burden of doing life with Jesus? Chris and Dave talk about the importance of having a trellis to help us grow, and some simple steps we can take to start embracing practices that will make us more aware of the presence of Jesus.

What does hurry do to us and our spiritual life, and how do we push back and become more present to God and to each other? As we come out of COVID, can we find a new normal that includes less hurry? Chris and Dave talk about some the challenges of living in an unhurried way, and some practices that will help us eliminate hurry and meet God.

We wrapped up our On Mission? series by hearing stories from four people on the unique ways God is leading them to engage with people and follow the promptings of the Spirit. It always starts with saying yes - taking that first step and seeing what God is already doing around us. Paul, Brad, and Dave talk about what's impacted them most through this series, and how we can find that unique moment to say yes and join with God in being on mission.

Are the little rhythms and habits in life the perfect place to think about joining God on mission? How do we have a good attitude about being interrupted, and what does yellow grass have to do with any of this? Join Paul and Dave as they discuss what it looks like to be proactive and finding joy-filled ways to become more aware of what God's doing in and through us.

It's easy to feel like the examples could apply to someone else, but what if my life looks different or I don't have the same kinds of neighbourhood relationships? How do I love people without treating them like projects, and how do we manage the risks in all of this? Join Brad and Dave as they chat about what it looks like to be responsive to the Spirit's promptings as we align ourselves to be on mission.

This Sunday Paul and Brad tag-teamed a sermon to kick off our series calling us all to consider how we're on mission. They talk about the unique joys and challenges of communicating this together, why thinking about Kingdom is helpful (and challenging), and what we can do starting today to be on mission, even when we can't spend time with people outside of our households.

If the Psalms teach us how we can respond to God, what do they also show us about who God is? How do we understand all of the "omni"s of God and live in the comfort of them? Paul and Dave wrap up our series by exploring Psalm 139 and encourage us all to start reading and praying the psalms regularly.

Do these hard passages like Psalm 109 give us a model for bringing our anger to God? Has anything changed from when these were written to now, and does the Holy Spirit play a role in giving us more self control and allowing us to not be so harsh? Paul and Dave get to swap seats as they wrestle with how the psalms model anger for us and how to practice it well today.

How do the Psalms help us bring our sadness and frustration to God instead of hiding it away? How do we practice lament well and learn to speak to ourselves and join community instead of listening to ourselves in isolation? Paul and Dave talk about a timely message from the Psalms that we could all use in this season.

In Psalm 16, David takes us on journey from wrestling with his situation to confident in God. How do we build that confidence, and how can we say with the Psalm "I will not be shaken"? How do we turn our attention to God's blessings and instruction, and how does that help us? Join Paul and Dave as they continue to explore the way the Psalms teach us how to pray.
